USING THIS MANUAL

Please read and carefully follow all of the instructions found in this

manual. Please pay special attention to the safety instructions provided

in this manual.

PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

1. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING

ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

2. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any air distribu-

tion system.

3. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING

SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

4. Do not use class B venting intended for gas appliances as a

chimney or connector pipe on a pellet-ﬁred appliance.

5. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all com-

bustible surfaces and materials including; furniture, carpet,

drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store combustibles

within this clearance space (see Clearances on Page 9).

6. INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER - It is imperative that the exhaust

venting system be installed correctly and sealed gas-tight

(not allowing exhaust to leak). Follow the vent manufac-

turer's instructions for proper installation. Since IHP has

no control over the installation of your ﬁreplace insert, IHP

grants no warranty, implied or stated for the installation or

maintenance of your insert, and assumes no responsibility

for any consequential damage(s).

7. Burning any kind of fuel consumes oxygen. If outside air is

not ducted to the appliance, ensure that there is an adequate

source of fresh air available to the room where the appliance

is installed.

8. The appliance will not operate using natural draft, nor without

a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.

9. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,

charcoal lighter ﬂuid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up”

a ﬁre in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the

heater while it is in use.

10. The authority having jurisdiction such as municipal build-

ing department, ﬁre department, ﬁre prevention bureau, etc

should be consulted before installation to determine the need

to obtain a permit.

11. APPROVED FUEL:

This appliance is designed speciﬁcally for

use only with pelletized wood pellets or a mixture of up to

50% corn mixed with a minimum of 50% pelletized wood pel

lets. This mixture of wood pellets and corn should be evenly

pre-mixed before being placed in the units hopper. This

appliance is designed and approved for the burning of wood

residue pellets with up to 2% ash content. This appliance is

NOT approved to burn cardboard, nut hulls, cherry pits, etc.

regardless if it is in pellet form. Failure to comply with this

restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the

stove. Consult with your IHP dealer for more information on

approved pellet fuels.

12. These appliances are designed as supplemental heaters.

Therefore, it is advisable to have an alternate heat source

when installed in a dwelling.

13. CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated correctly, this

appliance cannot be overﬁred. Continuous operation at a

maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electri

cal components (blowers, motors, and electronic controls),

and is not recommended. Typical approved operation would

include running at the low to mid range setting with occasional

running on the maximum setting during the coldest periods

of the winter.

DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS INSERT. Follow all

instructions regarding the proper use of this insert.

14. CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER.

This appliance

is equipped with a hopper lid switch, which is designed to stop

the auger when the hopper lid is opened.

NEVER DISCONNECT

OR BYPASS THIS SWITCH FOR ANY REASON.

Pellet fuel is fed

to the Burn Pot by a screw auger. This auger is driven by a

high torque motor. The auger is capable of causing serious

harm to ﬁngers. Keep pellets in the hopper at all times and

keep ﬁngers away from auger. The auger can start and stop

automatically at any time while the stove is running.

15.

CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appliance hot enough

to warm your home can severely burn anyone touching it. Keep

children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause

skin burns. Do not let children touch the appliance. Train them

to stay a safe distance from the appliance.

16. FLY ASH BUILD-UP: For all wood pellet fuel-burning heaters,

the combustion gases will contain small particles of ﬂy-ash.

This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel being burned.

Over time, the ﬂy-ash will collect in the exhaust venting

system and restrict the ﬂow of the ﬂue gases. The exhaust

venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as

necessary.

17. SOOT FORMATION: Incomplete combustion, such as occurs

during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room

heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in

the exhaust venting system. A precautionary inspection on

a regular basis is advisable to determine the necessity of

cleaning. The exhaust venting system should be inspected

regularly and cleaned as necessary.

18. DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a steel

container with a tight ﬁtting lid and moved outdoors imme

diately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on

a noncombustible ﬂoor or on the ground, well away from all

combustible materials, outside of the dwelling pending ﬁnal

disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or

otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the

closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

19. The instructions must be strictly adhered to. Do not use

makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.

20. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar

trauma. Do not operate the insert with the glass removed,

cracked or broken.

21. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

22. See the listing label on the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNING

INFORMATION

READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY AND UNDER-

STAND THESE RULES TO FOLLOW FOR SAFETY.

WARNING

Do not attempt to alter or modify the construction of

the appliance or its components. Any modiﬁcation

or alteration may void the warranty, certiﬁcation

and listings of this unit.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser-

vice or maintenance can cause injury or property

damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or

additional information consult a qualiﬁed installer,

service agency or the gas supplier.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

WARNING

Check all local building and safety codes before

installation. The installation instructions and appro-

priate code requirements must be followed exactly

and without compromise. Alterations to the stove are

not allowed. Do not connect the stove to a chimney

system serving another stove, appliance, or any air

distribution duct. Failure to follow these instructions

will void the manufacturers warranty.

The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes and appli-

cable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements

before installation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with

local building ofﬁcials include:

1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or Regional

Codes).

Electrical codes:

In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70 – Latest Edition

In Canada, CSA C22.1 – Latest Edition

2. Local amendments

3. Is a permit required - cost. You may wish to contact your insurance

company to ask if they require this.

4. If outside combustion air is required

5. Rooms where the installation is not allowed

Power Supply Requirements

The power cord must be plugged into a standard, 120 volt, 60 Hz

grounded electrical outlet. The power supply cord must be routed to

avoid contact with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface areas of the

stove. When installed in a manufactured home, the appliance must be

electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the manufactured home (see

Mobile Home Installations on Page 13, for additional requirements).

These requirements must be met unless otherwise speciﬁed by state

or local authorities.

Questions To Ask Local Building Ofﬁcial

A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing ﬁre hazards and

perilous conditions that can arise when wood pellet burning appliances

are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufactur-

ers’ instructions.

WARNING

Electrical grounding instructions: This appliance is

equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for

your protection against shock hazard and should

be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-

prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the ground-

ing prong from this plug. Do not route power cord

under or in front of appliance.

Smoke Detector Recommended

Since there are always several potential sources of ﬁre in any home, we

recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke

detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of

occasional false activation from the heat produced by these appliances).

If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same

room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with

your local building department for requirements in your area.

Carbon Monoxide Monitor Recommended

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poison-

ing are similar to the ﬂu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you

have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Some people are more

affected by carbon monoxide than others, including pregnant women,

people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence

of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

It is against federal regulations to operate wood heaters in a man-

ner inconsistent with operating instructions in the manual.

Surge Protectors

A surge protector is recommended to ensure the stove’s electrical com-

ponents are not damaged due to a surge in the electrical supply. Only

high quality protectors listed to UL1449 should be used - low quality

protectors do not provide the protection needed.

Installation / Maintenance Standards

National Fire Protection Association – The primary NFPA standard that

refers to installation and maintenance of pellet stoves and venting is

NFPA 211 – Latest Edition: Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel

appliances.

Electrical

• The ﬁreplace insert requires 120 volts AC for operation.

• Maximum wattage is 700.

• Igniter wattage is 400.

• Normal operating wattage is 300.

Electrical Generator Operation

Your Winslow™ PI40GL insert can be powered with a gas driven electrical

generator. However, the generator’s electrical regulator may not be compat-

ible with the insert’s electronics. The higher the quality of the generator,

the greater the chance that it is compatible with the insert.

WARNING

This product can expose you to chemicals includ-

ing Carbon Black, which is known to the State of

California to cause cancer, and Carbon Monoxide,

which is known to the State of California to cause

birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more

information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine

its value as a source of heat. This type of appliance depends primarily on

air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central

location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which

must be considered before a ﬁnal selection of locations is made. Some

of which includes:

• Existing Chimneys

• Pellet Fuel Storage

• Aesthetic Considerations

• Roof Design (rafter locations & roof pitch)

• Room Trafﬁc

• Proximity to Combustibles

• Electrical Wiring

SELECTING A LOCATION

CAUTION

The body of these appliances are very heavy. The

use of a heavy duty escalara (stair step hand truck)

is recommended for lifting the appliance body.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING

This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure envi

ronment. In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace

cold air returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in

close proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure

in the same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous

condition, drawing combustion by-products into the home. Be sure your

home has adequate makeup air to eliminate negative pressures caused

by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air connected to the appliance

probably will not resolve such a problem as the stove is not the source

of negative pressure. IHP accepts no liability for damages resulting from

negative pressures described here.

Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for combustion. The

fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space where

it will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a solid-fuel-burning

heater. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may inhibit the rate

the exhaust ﬂows through the venting system (caused by a shortage of

air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household

appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat

pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, ﬁreplaces, and other

fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater

uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery

in the dwelling is insufﬁcient to support the demands of these appli

ances, problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure will result

in performance problems. To correct this problem it may help to open

a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install an

outside combustion air duct to the appliance.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

Wood pellets manufactured to the pellet fuels institute (P.F.I.) certiﬁcation

standard are available in two grades, Standard and Premium. The primary

difference between the two is the ash content of the pellets.

The P.F.I. speciﬁcation for standard grade and premium grade residential

and commercial pellet fuel is as follows:

• CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m. to avoid stove and vent

rusting.

• BULK DENSITY: 38 to 40 lb. / Cu. Ft. minimum

• MOISTURE CONTENT: 8% to 10% maximum

• ASH CONTENT: < 2% maximum (standard grade) < 1% maximum

(premium grade)

• FINES: 0.5% to 1% maximum through a 1/8” screen

• BTU CONTENT: There are a number of variations in pellet fuels that are

not included in PFI standards. For example, BTU (heat value) content

may range from just under 8,000 to almost 9,000 Btu, depending upon

species and region of the country and other variables.

Corn Fuel Speciﬁcations

Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content less than 15% and

approximate fuel value of 7000 BTU/lb (16,200 kJ/kg). Do not attempt

to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser grade fuels.

Do not burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products (alfalfa,

cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are not permitted to be

burned in these appliances.

Shelled corn can be burned in this appliance when it is mixed with wood

pellet fuel. The mixture can contain a maximum of 50 percent corn. Burn-

ing corn may create more ash than wood pellets and may necessitate the

need to clean the Burn-Pot and glass more frequently.

Store corn in a tight container and use methods to ensure the corn does

not become rain soaked or absorb moisture from damp or wet sources.

This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem. Do not store

corn within stove installation clearances.

NOTES:

• Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened, by sifting with

3/16" mesh screening. Large pieces of cob may plug the auger.

• When changing from burning all wood pellets to burning a corn

and wood pellet mix, the draft adjuster may need to be adjusted to

achieve proper combustion.

FUEL

CAUTION

The use of unapproved, dirty, wet and / or high salt

content fuel will void the warranty!

This insert is designed to burn wood pellet fuel. In addition, a corn/wood

pellet mixture, with a maximum of 50 percent corn can be burned. Burning

any other fuel that is not approved for use with this appliance will void

the appliance warranty. IMPORTANT: The corn/wood mix needs to be

mixed evenly before being put in the pellet stove hopper.

Wood Pellet Speciﬁcations

This appliance has been designed to burn wood residue pellets with up

to 2% ash content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the performance of the

stove. Any questions regarding pellet fuel can be answered at the Pellet

Fuels Institute (PFI), www.pelletheat.org.

Pellet fuel is made from sawdust and scrap wood from many different

species of wood. Pellets are either 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and vary in

length. The PI40GL insert will burn either diameter pellets. Pellets made

from hardwoods contain more ash than those made from softwoods.

Minerals from ash and sand in the pellets form clinkers under the extreme

temperatures in the Burn-Pot. Try burning various brands of pellets until

you ﬁnd one that burns with minimum ash and clinkers. Once you ﬁnd

a pellet brand that burns well, continue using this brand. High ash fuel

increases the frequency of stove cleaning. Fuel with an excessive moisture

content may jam the auger assembly.

Clinkering - Silica (or sand) in the fuel, along with other impurities, can

cause clinkering. A clinker is a hard mass of silica formed in the burning

process. Clinkering is a function of the fuel, (not the stove), but adversely

affects the performance of the stove by blocking off the air passages in

the Burn-Pot. Even P.F.I. approved pellet fuel may tend to clinker. See

Maintenance for more information on cleaning.

Pellet Fuel Storage -

• Store your wood pellets in a dry place to prevent them from absorb-

ing excess moisture.

• Do Not store your wood pellets within the clearance zone of the

stove.

• Do Not store your wood pellets in a place that would block access

to refueling the hopper.

WARNING

Do not burn treated seed corn! Seed corn is treated

with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal

if swallowed. Burning treated corn will void your

warranty!

Control Board Installation

The Winslow PI40GL insert is shipped with the control board wrapped

and placed behind the ﬁrebox. To install the control board, unwrap it

and the right side surround panel found in the surround kit. There are

four prongs protruding from the surround. Place the two slots in the

bottom and the two holes in the top of the control board over the four

prongs on the surround panel. Install the surround panels following the

instructions on Page 12.

Venting

This ﬁreplace insert is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL

pellet vent pipe (listed to UL 641 and ULC S609) or listed pellet ﬂex liner

(2100HT [degree F.] liner listed to UL 1777 or ULC S635). The insert’s

ﬂue collar is 3” in diameter. The insert’s combustion blower pressurizes

and pushes ﬂue gases out the pellet pipe. All pipe joints should be locked

together or screwed with three screws if the pipe does not have a locking

system. The pipe joints can be sealed with high temperature silicone if

there is a possibility of ﬂue gases leaking into the living area. The pipe

should be fastened with three screws to the insert’s ﬂue collar. The longer

the run of pipe and the more elbows used, the greater the resistance to

the ﬂow of ﬂue gases. Four inch diameter pellet pipe is recommended

for pipe runs greater than 15 feet or when a number of elbows are used.

A 3-4” increaser can be used to connect the 4” pipe to the 3” ﬂue col-

lar. The outside air pipe may run up the chimney, horizontally, or down

provided the structural integrity of the ﬁreplace and chimney system

are maintained. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST

VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A

CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

Vent Termination Requirements:

If the insert is not vented vertically, the following apply:

1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas

such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely

fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build

up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway,

etc.

2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched.

Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.

3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended

that at least ﬁve feet of vertical pipe be installed outside when the

insert is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft

to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut

down or power failure and avoid exposing people or shrubs to high

temperatures.

4. The vent should terminate no less than four feet below, no less than

four feet horizontally from, and no less than one foot above doors

and windows, or gravity/ventilation air inlets into the building.

5. The distance from the bottom of termination to grade is 12” (305 mm)

minimum unless otherwise speciﬁed by the vent manufacturer. The

distance between the bottom of the termination and a public walkway

should be a minimum of seven feet.

6. Locate the vent termination at least two feet away from combustible

materials such as shrubs, plants, grass, fences, roof overhangs, and

adjacent buildings.

The recommended pipe installation is running the pellet pipe

from the insert all the way to the top of the chimney. However,

the pipe may terminate inside the chimney above the damper if

the chimney is sealed below the pellet pipe termination with a

block off panel (see Figure 10). The insert can also be vented

horizontally out the back of the ﬁreplace, but a listed pellet pipe

thimble must be used if the pipe goes through a combustible wall

and the structural integrity of the ﬁreplace and chimney system

must be maintained.

Insert Leveling

Inside the ﬁrebox is a bag of hardware with four 4”x 3/8” carriage

bolts. If the insert needs to be leveled, install one of these bolts

(from the bottom side) in the nuts at the left and right rear of the

base of the insert. Open the front door and remove the bolts screwed

into the nuts at the left and right front of the ﬁrebox ﬂoor.

From the bottom outside of the insert, install the remaining two

carriage bolts in the nuts from which the bolts were just removed.

A zero clearance front support is available to ﬁll the space between

the insert and hearth.

Surround (Flange) Installation

To install the surround panels:

1. Remove the side doors (see Page 25) to access the surround

mounting brackets. Remove the speed nuts from the parts bag

found in the ﬁrebox. Install the six speed nuts (with the ﬂat

surface forward) on the six surround mounting bracket holes,

three on each side of the insert. A ﬂat-bladed screwdriver may

help in installing the nuts. See the expanded view in Figure

11A.

2. Screw the six 1/4” truss head screws partially into the speed

nuts (see A in Figure 11A).

3. The side surround panel with the small access door for the

control board goes on the right side of the insert (see Figures

11B and 11C). Slide the slots in the side surround panels and

top surround panels behind the heads of the truss screws.

Tighten all six truss screws after shifting surround panels to

eliminate space between the side and top surround panels.

4. Install two spring clips approximately ﬁve inches from each

end of each of the three trim pieces. The spring clips should be

installed in the channel of the trim with the curved portion of

the clip to the front toward the rounded surface of the trim.

5. Place the longest trim piece with the rounded surface out along

the edge of the top surround panel with the spring clips slightly

behind the surround panel. Pull the trim forward, compressing

the spring clips, and slide the trim down onto the surround.

6. Insert the elbowed retainer in the mitred end of the side trim

pieces and fasten with ﬂat screwdriver. Insert the other end

of the retainer in the end of the already installed top surround

trim and slide side trim onto the edge of the side surround

compressing the spring clips in the process. Repeat the same

steps for the other side trim. Fasten the elbowed retainer

securely in the top surround making a nice mitred corner.

Outside Air Installations

Connecting the Winslow PI40GL insert to outside combustion air is

required in manufactured home installations and when required by local

building codes. The ﬁreplace insert’s air intake will accept 2” ID pipe to

accommodate outside air installations. The air intake on the exterior of

the home should always be located a minimum of 18” below the ﬂue

termination and must remain free of obstruction. The inlet must also

have a screen with openings not larger than 1/4” to prevent rodents

from entering. The outside air pipe may run up the chimney, horizontally,

or down provided the structural integrity of the ﬁreplace and chimney

system are maintained.

Thermostat installation

The Winslow PI40GL insert can be operated manually or by thermostat.

The insert comes from the factory wired to operate manually, see control

board operation on Page 20. A low voltage thermostat can be installed

on the insert. To install the thermostat:

1. Unplug the insert from the electrical outlet. Open the right side door

and lift out the control board from its retaining brackets. Locate the

light green wiring block at the bottom back of the board (see Figure

13), loosen the two screws B at the back of the block, and remove

the U shaped jumper wire A protruding from the block.

2. Insert a wire from the thermostat into one of the slots from which the

jumper wire was removed. Repeat this process for the other thermostat

wire.

Retain the jumper wire for future reinstallation. See Page 20 for ther-

mostat operation instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Install the thermostat per the manufacturers

instructions, provided with the thermostat. Failure to follow

manufacturers instructions could result in a malfunction. Pay

special attention to the thermostat location requirements. If the

location requirements are not adhered to the appliance, erratic

operation or failure may occur.

Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by:

• Radiant heat from the insert, ﬁreplaces, sun or other heat

sources.

• Drafts or dead spots behind doors or in corners.

• Hot or cold air from ducts.

that all pieces are present before beginning installation. Take care

not to scratch ﬁnished surfaces.

2. Open right and left side door. The side doors swivel open towards

the back of the insert. See Figure 16.

3. Open front door. Put door trim in place by inserting trim studs into

the corresponding holes in the front door (Figures 14 and 15). The

upper door trim will only ﬁt in one direction, but the lower door trim

can be installed incorrectly. When placing the lower door trim, make

sure that the distance between the top edge of the lower door trim to

the glass in the door is 9/16” (see Figure 18).

IMPORTANT

If you have a gold or nickel trim, be sure to clean

them with a soft cloth and household glass cleaner

prior to burning the insert. Fingerprints left on the

plated surfaces while burning will usually remain

on the ﬁnish permanently.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

4. Place one washer on each stud. Using a 3/8” nut driver, snug up the

nuts on each piece of trim. Do not ﬁnish tightening the nuts yet. See

Figure 19.

5. There should be approximately a 7/8” (22 mm) gap between the top

edge of the upper door trim and the top edge of the front door and

a 1-1/2” (38 mm) gap between the lower door trim to the bottom of

the front door. Visually inspect the alignment of the trim and adjust

if necessary. See Figure 20.

Control Board

The control board regulates all functions of the insert. The following is

a list of the board’s components:

• Feeding light - lights up when the auger is feeding pellets into the

Burn-Pot.

• Ready Light - lights up when insert is ready to operate.

Igniting Light - lights up when the insert is in the ignition sequence.

• Start Button - is pushed to start the ignition sequence after the heat

selector knob is turned from off.

Heat Selector Knob - is turned to off to shut the insert off or turned

to a setting from 1 to high to regulate the burn rate.

• Igniter Fuse - six amp fuse to protect igniter heating element.

• Control Fuse - three amp fuse to protect the control board.

Lighting

1. Turn the heat selector knob (see Figure 34) to the heat level desired - 1

through high - and the ready light will turn green.

2. Push the start button and the ignite and feeding lights will come on

and the lighting sequence will begin. For about the next 15 minutes the

insert will feed pellets cyclically into the Burn-Pot, the combustion fan

will come on, and the igniter will heat up. During this sequence, some

smoke in the ﬁrebox is to be expected. After the igniting sequence is

complete, the insert will begin burning at the level indicated by the

heat selector knob.

NOTE: Upon the insert’s initial light up, or if the insert has previously run

out of pellets, the auger feed tube may not contain a sufﬁcient number of

pellets to allow the insert to continue burning after the ignition sequence.

It may be necessary to push the start button a second time to run the start

sequence again. It is important to always empty (when cool) the Burn-Pot

of pellets before pushing the start button a second time.

Filling the Hopper

The hopper can be accessed by lifting the lid at the rear of the top of the

insert. The hopper will hold 60 pounds of pellets. Remove any contents

from the hopper and ﬁll with pellets.

To ﬁll the hopper when stove is off:

1. Lift the hopper lid to its full opened position.

2. Fill the hopper with pellets.

3. Check to make sure there are no remaining pellets on top of the

hopper that may prevent the hopper lid from fully closing.

4. Close Hopper lid.

To ﬁll the hopper when stove is in operation:

1. Repeat steps 1 thru 4 above.

2. When ﬁnished, check the burn pot to assure there is substantial

combustion taking place to light the pellets once the pellets start

feeding after refueling.

3. If combustion is not present in the burn pot then the unit will need

to be restarted. This can be done by turning the heat setting dial to

off and back to the desired heat setting 1 thru 5. You will then have

to press the start button to initiate ignition.

CAUTION: Failure to conﬁrm pellets in the Burn Pot remain

burning after re-fueling may result in smoke escaping from the

unit. Smoke escaping the unit can also be a result of ignition

of the unit with excessive pellets located inside the burn pot.

Figure 34

Manual Operation

After the insert is burning (see Lighting on this page), the heat selector

knob controls the pellet burn rate and the insert’s heat output. Turning

the knob to setting 1 allows the insert to burn about 1.8 pounds of pellets

per hour - about 8,500 BTUs per hour. Turning the knob to high allows

the insert to burn 4.7 pounds of pellets per hour - about 39,000 BTUs per

hour. Once set, the insert will continue to burn at this rate until shut off.

Thermostat Operation

This insert will operate with a low voltage thermostat. See Page 14 for

instructions on installing the thermostat. Once installed, the thermostat

will control the operation of the insert. Important: When connected to a

thermostat, it is necessary to push the ignite button for the initial burn,

when the electrical ﬂow to the insert is interrupted, if the selector knob

is turned to off (and then back on), or if the insert runs out of pellets and

therefore shuts off. After the initial ignition sequence, when the thermostat

calls for heat (the room temperature is less than the temperature set on

the thermostat) and the heat selector knob is not in the off position, the

insert will burn at the heat selector knob setting. The higher the setting,

the quicker the room will heat up. Once the thermostat no longer calls for

heat (the room is up to the desired temperature), the insert will continue

to burn for one additional hour at the lowest setting. If the thermostat

does not call for heat again during that hour, the insert will shut off. Dur-

ing that hour, if the thermostat calls for heat again, the insert will again

burn at the heat selector knob setting until the thermostat no longer

calls for heat. If the insert shuts off after that hour it will relight when

the thermostat calls for heat.

OPERATION

WARNING

• Never empty pellets from the Burn-Pot into the hopper.

Pellets that may appear to be cool may retain enough

heat to ignite other pellets resulting in smoke or ﬁre

damage.

• DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause seri-

ous damage to your stove and void your warranty. It

also may create a ﬁre hazard in your home. IF ANY

EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW,

YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately slide the knob

to the "OFF" position on the control board.
